Virtual voice sucks

I absolutely HATE virtual voice!! Evidently no one listens to the story once it’s been created because there are so many errors in pronunciation when it comes to virtual voice. The 1990’s is read as one thousand nine hundred and ninety s. The word lead was pronounced as “leed” instead of “led” and so many more errors.

Great story telling

Intrigued from the beginning of each story. They are all a book in itself. The narrator does a great job.

Not completely based on fact, terrible narration

I did not realize that this true crime book was going to have fictionalized narratives and have names changed in very well known cases. It’s my fault for not looking at the description and only going off the title.

The ai narration is terrible. I hate ai. It reads in a man’s voice so the stories that come from women are a little off for me because they speak in first person. Also, words like lead, as in a lead in a case, are pronounced ‘led’ and that annoys me. It’s the little things for me.

Goofy Premise, Altogether Unenjoyable.

This is a work of fiction that takes certain facts from real cases. It’s sloppy, lacks cohesion, and is without structure or guidance.

completely false

if anyone listening actually had information.. doesn't matter, completely made up names and places. NOT TRUE CRIME.. NOT EVEN CLOSE
